Shop/ wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Amanda/ Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberries. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for variety of dishes. Any type of meat - where its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with tomato- based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses.
Your Review: This Zinfandel was very interesting in the fact that the smell didn't match the taste of it. It smelled very plum like with hints of dark berries, but in actuality the taste was very smokey, buttery with thick texture. It reminded me of when my grandmother used to give me butterscotch's with hints of oak. Not the best Zinfandel I have ever had, but it wasn't that bad either. An OK effort by this USA wine.
